A little history...

 

Life for me would not have been possible without the first Lawrence Reiter (1905-1963) ,born to my great grandfather John Reiter and great grandma, Sophie Fitter. The Reiters emigrated from the Black Forrest of Germany and ran a coal mine in Castle Shannon, outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. John Reiter was known to be strong as an ox.  According to Hermes, my great grandfather ate a daily breakfast consisting  of 6 eggs, 4 pork chops and a half a loaf of bread. 

Lawrence Sr., a young hustler in his heyday, dabbled in entrepreneurial endeavors ranging from restaurants to a ceiling fan franchise. As a proud third generation American he chose to "fight the good fight" and kill Nazis in World war 2. He brought nabbed a German Luger which is still being passed around in the Reiter family today. My grandfather married Agnes Liptik and together they had Lawrence Jr., aka Hermes on August 4, 1946. Hermes was born in Pittsburgh, Pennysylvania, at the same hospital Andy Warhol was born in. Hermes and his father lived together in Los Angeles, by the Watts Towers, until Lawrence Sr. passed of lung cancer, due to fighting in WW2, in 1963.

From there on out Larry Jr. began his journey as Hermes, and on the way to become a photographer, CIA agent, philosopher, book editor, a good friend to many, and my Father....
